Shawn: What...a cell? What the hell are you talking about?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 7:46 am

Raquel:"This guest room...Bed...kitchen...bathroom...they gave me no need to leave it. It's hardly subtle hon."

Meanwhile Alex's phone rings

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 7:50 am

Alex picks up his phone.

Alex: Alex Edwards....

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 7:52 am

Shawn: Oh, the guest room in Ian's wing of the house. No, hon. All thier guest rooms are like that. Fully stocked fridge, kitchen and the like is because they don't know if thier guests have dietary needs or whatever. It's not a cell. Trust me. If they didn't want you there....you simply would not be allowed in the house.

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:01 am

Colin:"Dude, its Colin...Hows everything going over there?"

Raquel:"I see...maybe im just being paranoid...This whole thing is....I dont know..."

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:04 am

Shawn: Raquel...if you're so uncomfortable there....just come back to the hotel. You've see Alexis, right? She's probably in the safest place she can be at right now...

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:06 am

Alex: Lexi and Raquel are here, safe. I know where the rest of my family are. No more sign of Caley's goons yet. It seems what they pulled with us was just some kind of distraction tactic. How about you guys? Is Amber OK?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:07 am

Raquel:"It's fine Shawn, really. Besides I need rest I'm tired. But...if we ever get back in their good books...We are going to stay in this room. I'd tie you to this bed and do all sorts of devious things to you..."

Colin:"Yeah she is fine. Wait...Raquel is there?"

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:13 am

Alex sighs.

Alex: Yeah.... I allowed her to stay here because she wanted to be close to Lexi. Naturally she throws it back in my fucking face the moment she walks in the door..... but don't worry about it.... we'll make her as comfortable as possible til this whole thing blows over.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:13 am

Shawn: That's a sweet thought, hon....but...I don't think the good book thing is going to happen....anytime.....soon

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:18 am

Colin sighs
Colin:"I'd like to think that whatever happened, that wasn't her intent. I mean our families have an...unfortunate history. And my aunt has never been...subtle..."

Raquel:"I know...hopeless hoping..."

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:21 am

Shawn: Raquel...maybe, I'm not getting the whole story here. How....how did this start? I mean...you were there just to check on Alexis, right? What happened?

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:26 am

Alex: Yeah I know man.... just not much incentive to turn the other cheek when you're just gonna get it slapped. Lexi's keeping her company.... I'll stay out of the way until I'm needed. No point mindlessly bickering for no reason. How you doing man? I mean this whole thing and your freakshow mum....?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:30 am

Raquel:"I...Alex asked if I wanted anything. I said how about a hug from the man marrying my darling niece. He hesitated and looked at Alexis. I had this feeling the only reason he hugged me was because she was there...I requested that he try to put his thoughts about me to the side and focus on this cult thing. Suddenly I'm a judgmental bitch..."

Colin:"Come on man seriously...I've seen you in fights and you are going to get your back up over being "slapped"?...

Ugh this is just...You ever get the feeling your living in some warped fantasy world where just about every bad possibly bad situation is where you are heading to next?"

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:33 am

Shawn sighs...deeply....

Shawn: Raquel...did you just hug him and move on....or did you open your mouth and bring up the subject I told you to leave alone when you got there?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:37 am

Raquel:"I figured maybe if we just got it out in the open we could focus...How was I supposed to know that apparently thats considered insulting to them?...I guess I should have. I mean I kept my damn mouth shut about so much for years...guess I should revisit old habits huh Shawn?"

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:40 am

Alex: Hey I tried to be nice.... apparently nice isn't good enough. Like I said.... probably best if I just stay out of the way.

and hey.... I know what you mean man.... sadly this isn't the first time I've had to deal with the prospect of some lunatic cult wanting to turn one of my best friends into a psycho killer.... but we'll get you through this brother.... trust me.

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:43 am

Colin sighs

Colin:"Can I be frank man? As a man who considers you one of my closest brothers?...
And I know...but somehow I don't think this will turn out as...hallmark...at the end as Micah and Stu."

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:44 am

Shawn puts his fingers on his temple and sighs again...

Shawn: Raquel....honey. Listen to me. Please, just listen. There is a difference...a HUGE difference between avoiding the subject and keeping your mouth shut about it. Don't you get it hon? This is not a 'everyone will be happy' situation. You would not be avoiding the subject. You would merely know that this is a VERY sore spot for this family...one that I caused. Their feelings toward you should be irrelevant, hon....you didn't make me choose. I did. Do you see what I'm saying? Now....I think I can smooth things over with Alex and Ewan...if you didn't pursue the subject after the first little....comment. You didn't....right?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:47 am

Raquel:"Even if I wanted to I couldn't Alex is avoiding me now."

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:51 am

Shawn: I see....well, alright. At least you didn't mention Ashley. That could have really gone over bad. Look, you just get some rest, ok? If anything else happens...you come back to the hotel.

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:52 am

Alex: You can talk to me about anything man.... you know that.... except the idea of you not being OK.... you're going to be fine..... got it?....

... Lexi will be pissed if you're not at her wedding.....just joking.....

....kinda.

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:02 am

Raquel:"Yeah I will...good night."

Colin:"Well...look both you and Raquel have a...how to put this...noted temper. And before you say anything, you are the man who broke bones in your fathers body to make him see your point of view....It's just....man twenty years...I saw the whole thing. Frankly I'm tired of keeping my thoughts of it to myself. But I do because I know how it makes your family feel when its brought up...I would love to see our families back together. I saw it. You never did...
I know, "it will never happen" but..."

he sighs

"If every conversation ends up being well...an O'Ryan and an Edwards yelling and accusing it will never happen. I mean hell even the Hatfield–McCoy feud ended eventually...Or maybe I'm just a fool who wants SOMETHING to go positively for a damn change."

Cruel Britannia Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:22 am

Alex: I understand what you're saying.... but a feud would imply that our families actively seek to harm each other.... that's not the case.... my family wish Ashley and Raquel no ill will..... they just want to be left the hell alone. They adore Alexis and they certainly have no beef with you.... This isn't some family feud Colin.... there ae just some people they'd rather avoid.... I understand you feel your dad deserves forgiveness..... but don't my family have the same right to not forgive him if that is their choice?

Jabberwocky Thu Mar 10, 2011 9:31 am

Colin sighs

Colin:"Alex..I heard about what happened at Alexis initiation. From my fathers vantage point he felt hurt that he was put into that situation by people he thought he might be able to at least have a civil conversation with. I'm aware he got his back up after but...it came as a shock to him and he reacted. Poorly perhaps but like I said, it did hurt him. Not physically but...emotionally the man has been weak for years.."
